Board of Health.

At a meeting held on Friday night
last Board of Health was organized by
electing John Pilling, Esq, as President,
and Prof T. r. Wolf Secretary.
After some routine business the Sec
Fetary was directed to confer with Coun-
Gil as to the importance of having a sani-
fairy survey of the town made.
I 1t was the sentiment of the Board that
it would be wise to have 800 copies Of
the laws of Delaware, entitled an Act for
the Preservation of the Public Health
(chapter 345), printed and that copy
be placed in each house, so that all
might have a thorough understanding,
and that no one will have cause to play
ignorant.
On motion it was decided that all
complaints as to nuisances, defective
drains, etc, be made in writing to the
Board, and that complaints made in
other form will not be considered.
/ Whc meetings will take place the first
Monday of each month.
The Board comprises the following
well-known gentlemen: Dr. Lee NJ.

Barns Burned.

The barn of VIM. II. Lyman, who re-
sides between Christiana and Cooch's
Bridge, was burned to the ground on
Saturday night of last week. Smoke
was discovered issuing from the build
ing by Mr.. Lynam's oldest son, about
4 l.3O, and soon the whole structure WAS
IN flames. BY great efforts the live
stock, consisting of horses and cattle
were safely removed. All of last seasons
crop was lost, together with the farming
iitensfis- This years crop of grain was
in stacks near the barn, and was saved
The origin of the fire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. The
loss falls heavily on Mr.. Lyman, as the
insurance only covered about half the
loss. Insured in Mutual Fire Insurance
of Mill Creek hundred.

On Thursday afternoon benefit was
rendered Price Bullen, at the lures
Corner course. The crowd was Il mixed
one, and the expressions on horse were
often original and ludicrous. The first
thing done was the selection of judges,
which was an exceedingly hard matter
as no one seemed anxious for the honor
Finally, however, Dave Ford and Mr..
Simmons were announced as judges, and
the sport began by calling out the colts
three in iumber-to try conclusions.
The animals were very unevenly match
ed, and Il. j. Morrison's dun colt carried
off first honors easily.
Then came the great three-minute
class, with live horses. T. Plunkett had
lively-appearing sorrel, that promised
to clean the rest of the party up in quick
order. But alas, for chances, the mare
was too fond of running instead Of trot-
ting, and even under Fagan's manage
ment failed to beat Mr. Pordham's bay
colt. X. j. Morrison drove brown
horse, the property of Mr.. Rothwell
which showed up well throughout the
race. In the first heat by some means
Morrison and Plunketts' sulkies collided
shortly after the start, and the balance of
the string like grandfather's clock stop
ped short, but they were Strengthened
out, second attempt was made with
better results. One fellow was the cause
of much merriment. lie had big bony
sorrel hitched to what the boys term a
"seven-storied" sulkey. He was always
on hand, and although the big sorrel
could not reach better position than
fifth, yet he trotted for all he was
worth, and kept the crowd in plenty of
laughing stock.
Just before another heat was trotted
some of the judges resigned, and the de-
pleated ranks were soon filled by others.
This accomplished the fun once more
began by the bell ringing for the $50
class.
But two horses ontested-Manuel
Richenberger's Rainbow and X. J. Nor
rison's Ida May Rainbow was too speedy
for Ida, and, the race was devoid of in
terest.
The wagon race had three horses, own
ed and driven by Drake, an auctioneer
of Wilmington, l.. w. Stidham, also
auctioneer of the same place, and hotel
proprietor Bullen of Hare's Corner. The
last named gentleman carried off first
prize in an easy manner with Stidham
second and Drake third.
At this juncture more judges were
needed, on account of more designations
in the ranks, and search soon had the
important post of duty supplied. The
judges stand was established in hay
rigging. The average city youth was
there and as usual made enough noise to
be heard One Dutchman thought he
had fast nag, and another fellow, to
please him, concluded to race with him.
Accordingly, the two got into their re-
spective vehicles and away they went.
No time was taken, but it believed that
the Dutchman went the three-quarters in
eight or ten minutes. The Dutchman
next ran 100 yards race with Toman of
New Castle, but in this he was also
beaten. So ended the days sport, and
everybody seemed happy at having pass
ed such pleasant day.
We are indebted to Mr.. Jas. A. Wilson
proprietor of the Washington House, for
our visit to Hare's Corner, back of a pair
of spanking bays, which carried III there
and back and in quick time.

What 1t Was

On Friday evening of last week the
sky was illuminated very bright to the
northeast from here. 1t was nearly eight
o'clock, or maybe little later when first
seen. Many guessed us to where it was
but no one could definitely locate the
fire. It was the large barn on the ELL
wood Woodward's farm near Corner
Ketch, 3 or miles from here in Mill
Creek hundred. A large lot of old and
new hay, farm implements and lot of
oats. Insurance on the barn was $3.50
in the Mill Creek Mutual Company. The
contents were insured for $500. 1t is
said the insurance will not cover the loss
by good many dollars. AS to the ORR
gin, it will probably never be known, as
there has been no cause assigned.
